Universal Prayer

Father Sam has asked that this prayer be included on this blog.Attributed to Pope Clement XI

I believe, O Lord, but may I believe more firmly;I hope, but may I hope more securely;I love, but may I love more ardently;I sorrow, but may I sorrow more deeply.I adore you as my first beginning;I long for you as my last end;I praise you as my constant benefactor;I invoke you as my gracious protector.
